Police investigates brush fires near Adam’s Cove

The RCMP in Harbour Grace is investigating brush fires in the Adam’s Cove area.

There was a fire in the area on Friday, June 6, that was not reported to police. That fire was extinguished without significant damage.

Back in early May, the community was evacuated and a state of emergency was declared due to a brush fire that was out of control and caused devastation with the destruction of multiple properties. 

Both before and after this event, police responded to brush fires in the area. At this time, police say there's no evidence to suggest that any of these fires were intentionally set; however, the source of each incident remains under investigation. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact Harbour Grace RCMP at 709-596-5014.  To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers: #SayItHere 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), visit www.nlcrimestoppers.com or use the P3Tips app.

RCMP NL reminds the public of the dangers associated with setting fires during this time of the year, including brush fires and having open fires, such as fire pits.  In dry conditions, fires can quickly spread and easily become out of control.
